Nats closer rips Harper after miscue
It's been a rough couple of weeks for Nats' rising star Bryce Harper.
First, there was his embarrassing face-plant into the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium. Harper tried to track down a drive off the bat of A.J. Ellis but failed to remember the important part of the term "warning track."

OK, so maybe it's wise for him not to do...

Koji Uehara Whacks Shane Victorino When Outfielder Isn’t Paying Attention During Dugout High Fives (Animation)
Koji Uehara has quickly won over Red Sox fans this year by his excitable style on the mound in addition to his effectiveness there.
On Wednesday, he endeared himself to Red Sox Nation even further with a 1-2-3 inning in Chicago, followed by his routine of dishing out a high five to everyone in the dugout. However, Shane Victorino wasn’t paying close enough attention for Uehara’s...

Miguel Cabrera ignores tattooed chick begging for foul ball, gives it to hotter girl
Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera is the best hitter on the planet, and quite possibly the best hitter of our generation. When he’s not hitting home runs, it appears he is scoping out the attractive girls in the stands. On Tuesday night during the Tigers game against the Cleveland Indians he got ready to toss a foul ball to a fan in the stands. A tattooed girl was...
Mike Trout Proves What We Already Know--He is One Bad Dude
It is not too often that we see a rookie come out and dominate like Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout did last season. You could definitely argue that he deserved the AL MVP last season (but it was hard to deny Miguel Cabrera at the same time).
The one thing about coming out of the gate as hard as Trout did last season was that he had to provide fans with Act II this season...

Evan Gattis is Unreal as Braves win 8-3

Today’s story: Evan Gattis, who clubbed a 4th inning grand slam.

Cardinals' Jaime Garcia requires season-ending surgery
St. Louis Cardinals right-handed starting pitcher Jaime Garcia will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
The procedure has been recommended by Dr. James Andrews, as he confirmed the original diagnosis of a small tear in Garcia's labrum. Heyman adds that the right-hander is said to have what was described as a 30- to 40-percent tear...
Andre Ethier is Now Eminently Available
All winter, there were rumors that the Dodgers were open to trading Andre Ethier. All winter, the Dodgers declared that there was nothing to those rumors, and that they weren’t having second thoughts about the five year, $85 million contract they gave him last June. When spring training rolled around and Cuban import Yasiel Puig became The Hot New Thing, those rumors picked up...
Cardinals On The Cover Of Sports Illustrated

None of this was going on 2 weeks ago. So what the...?
Wait, what's that? Sports Illustrated sent someone to cover the Cardinals historically...
